    I also don’t think its the government’s business should I decide to buy a gun what I intend to do with it.

    Personally I feel that if you’re buying a gun someone should know why, and who else better than the government?

    You already ID people for buying knives, and you limit how many packs of painkillers people can purchase. I don’t see why it’s necessarily any different for a gun.

    Do you know what violent people who do not have access to guns are? Extremely annoying. That it. Then you called the police who come and deal with them. There are so many idiots that are still alive today who’s drunken escapades would have got them shot in the United States rather than a stint in the cells to sober up.

    You are allowed guns but the reason that you have for owning a gun has to be a little bit more than “because I want one”.

    Also the decision about whether or not you get a gun is up to local police. And they can deny you for any reason they like including that they know you to be a frequent flyer.

    But really it’s more about the fact that people aren’t really interested in guns outside the US. In the US they are a cultural thing, outside they are just a tool but a useful to have if you need to make use of that tool. I don’t own a gun for the same reason that I don’t own a quad bike, I’m not a farmer and I live in the city, so I don’t need one.


  • Ok but there is quite a way between going oh I don’t like what’s happening on social media and blowing yourself up.

    Write to your representatives and make it extremely clear that if they want to be reelected they will stand up to Trump.

    Massive protests, the No Kings protest were good but then you all kind of just gave up. Nothing violent but just a stubborn refusal to go along is all that is required. Boycott companies that support Trump, don’t buy the next iPhone (it’s basically the same phone every year anyway), don’t go to FIFA, don’t go to the Olympics, go to as many town meetings as you can and raise points of order and complain. Make it even possible for the powers that be to ignore the situation.

    Just imagine you’re a French dock worker complaining about industrialisation.

    I’m now older than both my parents were when I was born. The complaining about the lack of grandchildren has already started.

    Is not in is it? Society won’t let me stay up and play Xbox until midnight anymore, I’m expected to go to work in the morning.
